Genomic Promoter Occupancy of Runt-related Transcription Factor RUNX2 in Osteosarcoma Cells Identifies Genes Involved in Cell Adhesion and Motility
10 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Runt-related transcription factors (RUNX1, RUNX2, and RUNX3) are key lineage-specific regulators of progenitor cell growth and differentiation but also function pathologically as cancer genes that contribute to tumorigenesis. RUNX2 attenuates growth and stimulates maturation of osteoblasts during bone formation but is also robustly expressed in a subset of osteosarcomas, as well as in metastatic breast and...
